Mistakes Have their Force - (350)

Introduction


That is obvious that mistakes have their force outside and inside of ourselves. The worst case is the effect of the mistake inside of ourselves.



The mistakes whose fullest or maximum extension is an action in the physical world are a storm or an earthquake within ourselves. Just like after an earthquake we have to rebuild and recover.


A Clash of Forces

The mistakes introduce a certain force within us that clashes with the other force. that we have within us. We have white forces and black forces within. However when we are working correctly we have more of the white forces in control. The mistakes increase the magnitude of the black forces.


A Burden – A Heavy Weight

That clash is really terrible and causes much damage and introduces also into ourselves a heavy weight - a certain burden that we carry within until we repair the mistake. This burden is also a shadow, a corner of darkness that we carry within. We have to shed light onto hat corner and energetically defeat its heavy weight, or heaviness.



Types of Mistakes

Just depending on the mistake. Our system may not be able to handle it and in that case our esoteric work and our place in the work may get derailed.

Sometimes the mistake is not grave and only delays us for a brief period until we recover and continue forward.

There are esoterically speaking mistakes where the Being may descend from his throne and roll but not lose his grip on his sword. If the Being falters or falls and he loses his sword then the mistake caused a fall. There are mistakes and mistakes, and there are those that cause one to fall and then there are those that do not cause one to fall but nonetheless one does incur some karma.

It is very useful in our esoteric path to be able to perceive which actions will precipitate a fall or a severe delay on the path. What mistakes have you made? What were their effects?


Failure

Failure is the result always of some sort of mistake or bad decision.

To avoid failure or a fall we must cultivate within us the habit to always choose wisely after pondering very carefully. If we don’t ponder carefully and choose wisely we usually either like, dislike, accept or reject and what we like or accept could be the temptation and the mistake or failure.
Why is it that when we are making the mistake we are fine but only when we stop does it hurt? Why is this? Because while we are making mistakes we are spending our capital and accruing karma and when we stop making the mistake we start to pay for the debts - perhaps?


Conclusion

Sometimes mistakes are necessary to learn, though small ones or ones we can cure. Though the big ones can be avoided and always ponder carefully and choose wisely after contrasting the decision or the subject of the decision with the precepts of the path, the work and the Being. 


End (350).

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
